Notes: Table excludes children who are on a planned series of short term placements.
Figures are provisional and may be revised in 2008-09.
The 'per cent still in touch with social services' column was revised in February 2009. The total number in touch with social services is the total number eligible for aftercare services minus the number no longer in touch with social services. The percentage previously calculated had incorrectly excluded 'not knowns' also.
Renfrewshire did not provide information on young people eligible for aftercare services. Renfrewshire's 2006-07 figures have been incorporated into the totals in this table.
Glasgow's figures include 10 young people receiving an "aftercare" service who were not looked after by them, but for whom the service was deemed appropriate according to their needs. Some or all of them may have previously been looked after by other local authorities but it was not possible to identify which ones had.
West Lothian provided figures for six young people over the age of 21 who were also receiving aftercare services from them. These have not been included as these young people were above the age where they would be defined as "discretionally supported", and no information was collected on whether any 21 year olds were being supported in this way in other local authorities.
